Here's a picture of my girls enjoying themselves in the yard the other day. I thought I had all seven when I snapped the picture, but Miss Ethel (see sidebar) escaped. She must have thought she was having a bad feather day. I just love watching them and it is so much better than TV!
We are only getting 2 or 3 eggs a day now due to less daylight. I keep going back and forth on whether or not to use artificial light to keep production up through the winter. But much like deciding what we will do with Jesus, choosing to do nothing is the same as saying no.
There are sure to be more chicks in the spring and though I don't want to wish time away, I can't wait for those fuzzy little girls! But until then, I plan on enjoying the slower pace of winter. :)
Hey, Miss Sonja! Love the picture of your gorgeous girls... I enjoy watching my girls, too- and you're right, they're a whole lot more entertaining than tv!
ReplyDeleteMy Silkies are still so broody it's pathetic... I have to get them off the nest at night to lock them up, and sometimes they don't even have any eggs under them. They scream like little panthers, though!
